A contemporary perfect hideaway in Greenpoint
Seascape is perfectly positioned in vibey Greenpoint, minutes from the heart of Cape Town, with cinematic views of the Atlantic Seaboard
On the slopes of Table Mountain National Park, Seascape offers self-catering luxury accommodation where crisp architecture meets warm, understated luxury, and the dramatic curve of the coastline draws your gaze all the way to Robben Island.
The owners of Seascape fell in love with Cape Town and bought a property with great potential. With the help of the talented John Jacob, a major renovation resulted in Seascape – holiday home rental and a contemporary launch pad into the city- perfect for a weekend getaway or an intimate family holiday.
It is only when you turn and, with your back to the mountain, take in one of the most glorious and powerful views of Cape Town, Atlantic Seaboard, that you fully appreciate the impact of Seascape high on the slopes of Table Mountain National Park. Framed by the green belt, the Cape Town stadium is a giant ‘art piece’ in the distance.
Beyond is the Atlantic Ocean and Robben Island so critical in shaping the country’s recent history. In the near distance, the rooftops of houses and apartments create a mosaic of grey and terracotta, which by nightfall become an urban galaxy of lights.
From the decks of this luxury accommodation, plan your city exploration: to the South West a drive to Clifton beaches and the ribboning ocean road to Llandudno and beyond; to the North West the city centre and the V&A Waterfront – shops, water sports, restaurants and nightlife.
Seascape offers cool, neutral luxury in tones of gunmetal grey, pewter and charcoal, offset by striking graphics, photography and original artworks. The colours are restful on the eye and allow the views to be the heroes of your stay.
Blissful days flow into magical nights
At Seascape, days begin slowly, with light breakfasts taken on the ocean-facing deck or in the leafy rear courtyard, where a heated plunge pool and gas braai await if the sea breeze picks up.
Choose from the day’s selection of three curated wines in the private wine cellar, perfect for pairing with your lunch or a chef-cooked dinner at home.
Evenings are magical as the city lights come alive, transforming the rooftops below into a sparkling urban galaxy. Dine under the stars or settle into one of the comfortable lounges to plan your next adventure.
At Seascape you are a guest in a contemporary styled home complete with unobtrusive housekeeper to ensure every moment of your stay is quietly and efficiently designed around your chosen experience: eat a light breakfast at the poolside, plan dinner at one of the city’s top restaurants – or book your own private chef and dine in.
Although Seascape is self-catering holiday accommodation, for those wanting full immersion in Cape Town’s culinary culture, a roster of acclaimed local chefs is available to cook in-house. Or, if spontaneity calls, take a short drive to the V&A Waterfront for world-class dining and nightlife. Either way, the unobtrusive, ever-helpful housekeeper ensures your stay is seamless.
